    If IndiGo Ran Your Hospital Ratan Jalan Thanks to Aditya Ghosh, IndiGo's President & Executive Director, I was able to look under the hood and get a peep into this widely acclaimed airline's secret sauce. This article is not aimed at providing a ready-to-implement toolkit of 'things you can do'. It is meant to provoke and facilitate a different way of thinking. If it helps you feel somewhat disturbed, but with a tinge of optimism and possibilities, I would have achieved my objective. I am grateful to Rohini Duvvuri for her painstaking editorial inputs and Rajesh Nambiar for the excellent design. Pictures relating to various facets of IndiGo are used to illustrate the point being made. I am constantly amazed by IndiGo’s trailblazing performance in an industry, which is notorious for its loss making capabilities and has witnessed many corporate casualties. In India alone, the cumulative losses for airlines over the last seven years have crossed ` 65,000 crore. IndiGo, on the other hand, has been the lone profit-maker and has posted six straight years of profits against the backdrop of vicious fare fights. The airline is reportedly expecting to record a net profit of up to ` 2,200 crore in 2014-15 partly on account of Profit in ` crore Frankly, you'll have 1000 nothing to complain 0 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2010-11 if IndiGo ran your -1000 hospital.

Apollo is one of the pioneer players of private health care industry in India started theinnovative concept of the corporatization of healthcare and also defined the attributes of private health care sector.

We argue that the combination of human and machine curation on media portals marks a new period for news media and journalism. Although intermediary platforms routinely claim that they are merely the neutral technological platform which facilitates news and information flows, rejecting any criticisms that they are operating as de facto media organisations; instead, we argue for an alternative, more active interpretation of their roles. In this article we provide a contemporary account of the South Korean (‘Korean’) online news media ecology as an exemplar of how contemporary media technologies, and in particular portals and algorithmic recommender systems, perform a powerful role in shaping the kind of news and information that citizens access. By highlighting the key stakeholders and their positions within the production, publication and distribution of news media, we argue that the overall impact of the major portal platforms of Naver and Kakao is far more consequential than simply providing an entertaining media diet for consumers.
